We are delighted to be hosting artists in residence in our building again this summer. As well as our public programme we regularly host artists during our summer months to think, create and rehearse.

One of our residents this summer is Bryony Kimmings.

Inspired by the taboos and anomalies of western culture, Bryony Kimming’s autobiographical works promote the airing of her own dirty laundry to oil public conversations on seemingly difficult subjects. Her award-winning work has been seen in theatres globally, in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Kimmings’ work exists cross- platform, as music, documentaries, websites, PR campaigns & viral movements, but always ends in performance. Her most recent works have focused on socio-political injustice.

Bryony and her team are in residence working on I’m a Phoenix, Bitch, which is her first solo work in nearly a decade. The work, an ACCA co-commission, will premiere at Battersea Arts Centre in October 2019 and then head to Arts Centre Melbourne in early 2019 before touring further. I’m a Phoenix, Bitch combines personal stories with epic film,soundscapes and ethereal music creatinga powerful and joyful work about motherhood, heartbreak and finding inner strength.
